## Identifying a Feature by Using Tooltips

You can also identify a feature without having to show feature IDs. Instead, PC-DMIS can display a small tooltip that appears when you briefly hover your mouse over the feature inside the Graphic Display window. The tooltip remains visible until you move the mouse off of the tooltip.

Sample Tooltip of a Line Feature

You may find this useful when you have a large measurement routine, and you want to keep your feature ID labels turned off to improve performance, yet you still need a way to quickly identify a feature.

- Click on the tooltip to toggle the feature’s ID label in the current view.

- Right-mouse click to display a short-cut menu with the same options available when you right-click on a feature inside Text Box Mode.

These tooltips are not available when PC-DMIS performs path operations (Animate Path, Edit Path, and other path operations), when in Quick Fixture mode, or in any mode where you use the mouse button or keyboard buttons at the same time (such as during a Pan, Zoom, or Rotate operation).
